A clear, disciplined, and motivating chronicle of one of the world's most iconic marathon swims. Griesemer's writing is accessible, candid, and grounded, offering readers - including potential 20 Bridges swimmers - both practical insight and genuine inspiration. -SIMON GRIFFITHS, Founder and Publisher of Outdoor Swimmer, Creator of The Renaissance Swimmer Project, Author of Swim Wild and Free.
Lynn's approach to marathon swimming and her adventure around Manhattan Island was thoroughly captivating, from start to finish. Lynn is, without a doubt, a role model for all of us. - STEVEN MUNATONES, Creator of Oceans Seven, Founder of World Open Water Swimming Federation / Daily News of Open Water / WOWSA, Author of Open Water Swimming, Published nearly 22,000 articles in the Daily News of Open Water Swimming.
On a clear August morning in 2025, with perfect weather and water conditions, two swimmers began what would be the swim of their lifetime. At the age of 62 both Lynn and Ken Morgan were the Oldest Male-Female Tandem Swim Team to complete 20 Bridges, one of the three prestigious swims that constitute the Triple Crown of Open Water Swimming.
Swimming Around Manhattan is a story of a long-distance swimmer who circumnavigated the 28.5-mile island in New York City, but this swimmer had a few obstacles to overcome before the big day.
Lynn, a grandmother without a competitive swimming background, swam for ten hours around Manhattan. How did she get to the point of swimming around Manhattan? Why did she do it? How did she train for the event? Lynn answers those questions and more. Book includes 76 color photos and three additional 20 Bridges swimmers' stories.
In addition to a fascinating story, Swimming Around Manhattan is an encouragement for readers to find their passion. Your passion can make the seemingly impossible become possible. When your desire is strong, tenacity follows. Worthwhile pursuits require endurance and focus, discipline and commitment. It's that simple.
Lynn is a champion of the underdog and shows what life looks like when you have a burning desire to follow your passion. It's never too late to do something great!
